Title: Fill level indicator for self-timed F.I.-F.O.
Inventor: HOLT CRAIG S
IPC: G06F5/08
Filed: 1994-08-18
Abstract: A FIFO (10) uses a fill indicator circuit (20) to indicate a fill status and provide control signals to a data source and data sink to cease operation. A serial string of FIFO cells (14) propagates data from input to output by sending request and acknowledge signals between adjacent cells. The request signal initiates data transfer to the next logical cell and the acknowledge signal indicates completion of the transfer. The fill indicator has one cell for each FIFO cell for monitoring the request and acknowledge signals looking for predetermined state sequences to indicate whether each FIFO cell is full or empty.

Abstract: In a small radio controlled watch (12) of compact design, which has a magnetic antenna (aerial) (11) integrated into the movement section, the main printed circuit board (26) for interconnecting the essential components of the autonomous clock circuit, the receiver (42) and the processor (41) for the internal function coordination including a voltage transformer which is possibly present for driving an LCD is countersunk so deep into a hole (28) in the central region of the disc-shaped antenna coiled core (13) that the plane of the conductor tracks (38) on the one side of the printed circuit board (26) is as far as possible aligned with the central plane (37) of the core (13) and with the axis (18) of the antenna coil (14) supported on an eccentric bulge of the core (13). Moreover, active components, in particular when they operate by means of clocked currents, such as, in particular, the processor (41) and the receiver (42), are arranged on this main printed circuit board (26) at as great a distance as possible from the coil (14) and distributed as far as possible opposite one another on both sides of the printed circuit board (26), with the result that the centre of the interfering alternating fields emanating from the pulsed currents once again is also situated in this regard in the central plane (37) of the core (13). These positionings produce a far reaching vectorial compensation of magnetic alternating field components which penetrate the cross-section of the coil (14) and result from the circuit currents, with the result that the received signal with the time information to be decoded is not covered by locally produced disturbance fields (interference fields, noise fields). It is possible to arrange away from the central plane (37) an additional printed circuit board or circuit components which operate only sporadically - during the pauses in the receiving operation -, such as, for example, an evaluation circuit for externally actuable momentary-contact switches and, in particular, the driver circuit for a stepping motor (stepper motor, pulse motor) for driving the gearing. The latter plunges into a hat-shaped holder which is made from insulating material, projects coaxially into the hole (28) in the core (13), and supports the main printed circuit board (26) below its base (36). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Capacitor discharge ignition system having a microprocessor disposed thereon to control the ignition timing of the system. The system has a generator coil, a primary coil and a secondary coil on the same leg portion of a ferromagnetic core. An electronic circuit associated with the microprocessor includes a capacitor adapted to be charged by an intermediate pulse generated by the charge coil with the leading and trailing pulses thereof being input to control the operation of the microprocessor. The circuit also includes an SCR having its anode-cathode path connected in circuit with the capacitor and primary coil and its gate connected to an output port of the microprocessor which also includes an input port to power the microprocessor from the charge coil. Another port of the microprocessor is adapted to receive timing reference inputs from the charge coil. The microprocessor is programmed to send a signal to the SCR that causes the capacitor to discharge through the primary and thereby induce an ignition pulse in the secondary. In addition, the microprocessor is programmed to be cut "off" and remain "off" for the duration of the ignition pulse.

Abstract: Arranging switching nodes of a distributed telecommunication system into authentication hierarchical structures with respect to authentication information. If the authentication information is stored on a switching node within the authentication hierarchical structure, all switching nodes in that authentication hierarchical structure can access the authentication information. An authentication hierarchical structure allows any switching node that is part of the authentication hierarchical structure to obtain the authentication information from another switching node within the authentication hierarchical structure if another switching node has the authentication information. Only one switching node is required to retain the authentication information within a given authentication hierarchical structure.

Filed: 1996-06-24
Abstract: A system for generating three-dimensional (3D) mosaics from a plurality of input images representing an imaged scene. The plurality input images contain at least two images of a single scene, where at least two of the images have overlapping regions (1041 and 1042). The system combines the images using a parallax-based approach that generates a 3D mosaic comprising an image mosaic representing a panoramic view of the scene and a shape mosaic representing the three-dimensional geometry of the scene (106). Specifically, in one embodiment, the system registers the input images along a parametric surface within the imaged scene and derives translation vectors useful in aligning the images into a two-dimensional image mosaic. Once registered, the system generates a shape mosaic representing objects within the scene.
